Chapter 1945 1945. Grand Understanding
"Wait, why are you rushing away? We have to figure this out!" Elise tried to catch Walker but he was moving too quickly. This left him just moving ahead towards the mage tower.
"I need to start preparing more mana than what I have now. The dragons could delve in to the elemental planes if they want. If they do that, they have to be strong enough to pass through the in between, right? I am not that strong. And if I want to understand the corrupted mana, then I need to be able to live with it."
"But what do I do about these corrupted monsters? Can I do anything even? I can't have tamers touching them. Then what if this egg hatches?" Elise was at a complete loss. She had relied on Walker for help with this. She had half a mind to Let Stella try and capture Walker to drag him back as he rushed out of the tamer's guild.
"find one of the echidna, they might want to watch over it. They are deeply connected because of the way they are raised, with the natural mana of the world. The proper flow. But that's a proper flow too. I mean, no, just find one and they will guard over it." Walker had a sense that that would be the case. He didn't fully understand why, but he felt it was right.
While Walker felt slightly bad for leaving Stella and Elise lost in their own problems, he also knew that he was going to be able to grasp much more than he had right this second about natural mana.
He had grasped the understanding that the world was not the way it should be some time ago. Between the grand elemental spirits being established to be able to bring the proper flow of mana back to the world, and the demons causing trouble, Walker could understand more.
The grand elemental spirits helping the flow if mana was just part of their existence. They were deeply part of the world because their bodies were made of the mana that the world provided. It was just a certainty that they would awaken more and become their own race sooner than later.
But that might cause different questions to arise. Were they meant to be the will of the world? Or were they that way because they were made of mana? Regardless, that was to the focus of Walker's mind. It was a major puzzle piece.
The false death runes in the Sigil continent were another piece. Runes that forced a curse on the desert from the world because it was using mana improperly and in a way that did not allow for growth. Therefore, it was another world wide interruption in the proper flow.
Walker used these as a way to grasp that the world was supposed to grow in to more. That the system and everything about the will of the world was unfinished. This made it feel like he was opening his mind to much greater things.
He didn't even register anyone as he climbed directly to the top of the mage tower where the last floor was still sealed while waiting for the right mage to come and visit. But that did not meant that Walker wasn't able to get to the top. The silent top that no one else was allowed by the mage tower to go to and sit upon.
A place in all of Genesis where manas gathered the densest and where silence allowed for him to learn what he needed. To organize his thoughts slowly but surely without stress other than what he put on himself.
As he sat down and closed his eyes, Walker began to understand that so many things had happened that stopped the world entirely. The idea that the powerful beings could delve in to the elemental planes proved that there was a connection. But why was it all separated?
The corrupted mana that was being put in to the world by the demon lord was clearly part of existence. That Walker knew. But it was opposing to the flow of the world as it was now? Why? Was it because it was a different thing entirely? Maybe. Or was it because it was in places that it did not belong? Because it was in a place where it was not balanced as existence intended?
Pushing aside the theory that there was a greater being behind the world or above so to speak, Walker kept pushing his puzzle pieces together. "The elemental planes should be attached to us more closely, but they were broken apart for some reason."
Just saying it out loud was enough to allow Walker to accept this. He didn't feel any resistance to this theory. He actually felt as if the world had thickened the mana around him in response. It might have been his mind and emotions, however, he felt that it was the world agreeing silently. Unable to tell him all its secrets, but still encouraging him to pursue these thoughts.
If the story about the hero that walker had heard and learned of from the Immortal King when they first went exploring in to the undead ruins, then this could finish the puzzle to a? degree. A boy who had been a victim and slave to an ancient people who researched skills pursuing immortality.
The boy who had awakened to be a hero system user only to fail in his goal to save his mother's life. The boy who rejected the world itself and become a true demon that was not even related to what the demons were as a race.
The demon lord that had reappeared years later to destroy the race that had killed his mother. The demon lord responsible for the immortal king failing and trapping himself in the ancient undead ruins for too many years for anyone toi truly count. These things all fit directly within what Walker had begun to understand and learn.
The enlightening feelings as so many things came together properly for the first time made him wonder just what was the goal. Was this demon lord pushing themselves ahead to destroy the very world that it blamed for being too weak to save its mother?
Was the world trying desperately to fix the damages done when the unexpected happened and a being completely rejected and constantly broke away the very fabric of what the world needed to grow? Does that mean that the echidna had long ago grasped this fact?
The echidna were closer to the world. Some of them had even said that they would go their own ways with the will of the world. Did that mean that they were also working to handle the issues surrounding the demon lord and the causes of many other issues?
Walker felt his heart beat with every question. As if to scream yes, that is the right question to ask. He could feel it deep in his soul. These things were all related. But what did that mean for the systems that the world handed out? Were they incomplete just like the world was?
If the elemental planes were supposed to be connected seamlessly with the world he lived in, then that meant things were all just broken. They, along with every race, had been living in a world that was hanging on by a thread. If it were to fully shatter, then what would the result be?
Constant chaotic mana might tear it all to nothingness.
The realization was like a whisper within Walker's ears. A devastating understanding that there was a massive danger leagues above what he even comprehended. When Walker opened his eyes, he felt he had solidified every bit of will and determination that he had or would ever have.
So many things came together for him to be born and gain what he had today. The master of none system. He had spent many days learning any and all things believing he would not have a system at all. But since then, he had grown.
Managed to repair the world enough that those without systems had gained them. It was a fixed error already. Yet, now, he found that the damage repaired was superficial. There were greater issues that needed repairing. The world had guided their hands when it saw them capable of such things.
The hero titles, the changes in how they could grow to gain the heroic points and experience points. They used that to grow faster and stronger than many people older and wiser than them.
The changing of systems and awakening of new paths that had never been walked before. The world had given them all of this while letting them learn and grow with their own will. It might be presumptuous to believe it, but they had a greater goal that even they could not see yet. Right now, they had to tackle the corrupted mana. The floating corrupted city that the demon lord and his two followers used to hinder the world. That was the current goal.
What comes next, they would just have to see.
